About this deal

Gary makes his first major appearance in The Ugly Truth. It is revealed that all of his wives divorced him as soon as they found out about his financial situation and job. He has had so many weddings that Greg's family does not need to use a growth chart, and instead use family pictures from each of his weddings. Rowley, on the other hand, is not very bright and often does silly things that end up getting Greg in trouble. Despite this, he has a caring but naive personality and always wishes the best for everyone. He can also be quite immature, sleeping with his stuffed toys and prioritizing his Dinoblazer Action Figures over other activities like writing his comic, Zoo-Wee Mama! for the school paper. He also has a fondness for a children's singer named Joshie, which his parents find childish. He even thinks that "volleyball" is actually "bolleyball." Benjamin "Benjy" Heffley is Greg's cousin, whose parents are Greg's Uncle Tony and Aunt Patricia. The last time Greg saw Benjy, he could only say "No!" or "Shut up!", respectively. Now he can speak in full sentences and read chapter books but is still not potty trained and usually wears a diaper. Benjy is asked to be a reader at Uncle Gary's wedding to Sonja – a position that Greg had initially expected to fill.

He is often seen as an anti-hero/antagonist in the book series, but is a true hero in the movies. Rowley usually gets blamed for Greg's mischievous pranks. Despite his idiotic behavior, Rowley always wishes the best for everyone, and is a very nice, thoughtful and innocent kid. Christopher "Chris" Brownfield is one of Greg's friends and is shown to have been a great mosquito magnet while hanging out with Greg in the summer. However, Greg does not see him as a close friend because he is "not a school-year friend". Later in The Ugly Truth, he is on Greg's team for a game and hides behind a soda machine after the teachers threaten to call all of their parents.No-one does the straight to camera narrative style of the diary better than Kinney ... This is as authentic and funny as the original Wimpy Kid books and makes just as irresistible reading.' - Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids Reviewer Rowley is best known for being a good best friend to Greg. Rowley is quite immature and seems a bit naive, but his charming, cheerful and innocent nature made him more popular with other students (particularly the girls) than Greg had. His friendship with Greg is arguably more legitimate in the films than in the books: in the novels, Greg primarily uses Rowley for personal gain, though they are legitimate friends nonetheless. In Dog Days, he smashes " The Muddy Hand", which is really Gregory's hand.

Joseph "Joe" Heffley is Frank's brother and Greg's uncle. Frank has a sibling rivalry with Joe due to his actions. When Manny started potty training, Uncle Joe told him to watch out for the "potty monster", causing him to fear using the bathroom, forcing Frank to change his diapers for a longer period. Joe's children call their uncle "Aunt Fwank", which Frank swears he told them to do on purpose. Susan thinks it is cute, though. In Dog Days, Greg mentions that he tried to make Joe convince Frank to get a dog, but that did not work out. He also mentions that Joe's dog, Killer, ate most of his birthday cake. The character appears in the online book wherein he is renamed as Darnell Washington and his manner of starting the Cheese Touch is that of him tripping over and accidentally touching the cheese. In the film series, Fregley is portrayed by Grayson Russell in the first three installments, and by Christian Convery in the 2021 animated film. Aunt Cakey is Susan's oldest sister. She is single and has no pets or kids, suggesting that she doesn't like kids. When she stayed with the Heffleys when Greg was little, she kept all fragile items out of his reach and made him take a nap. When she told Greg to not touch the iron, he couldn't stop thinking about it and pressed his whole hand against the iron, giving him a second-degree burn. Susan has never trusted her with babysitting since. However, Rowley may have gotten rid of it, especially in Dog Days and The Ugly Truth when he and Greg were ex-best friends, and the only reason he gotten that diary was to be like him.In The Last Straw, it is revealed that each Snella child has a half-birthday party, at which the adults perform funny stunts, to attempt to make the babies laugh. According to Greg, however, no baby has laughed once. Also according to Greg, the Snellas' real reason for having these parties is to win a prize from America's Funniest Families, a spoof and parody of America's Funniest Home Videos. Mr. Snella sends the videos to America's Funniest Families, and has never won anything (though after Greg is filmed wearing Wonder Woman underwear hanging off a tree with his trousers below his ankles at the end of The Last Straw, the footage is sent, and it is never explained if Mr. Snella won with it). Darren Walsh is a minor character who is only mentioned in the original book. He is the boy who starts the Cheese Touch game in Westmore Middle School after intentionally touching a piece of cheese in the school's playground wherein everyone starts running away and avoiding him, becoming an outcast until he passes it to the next student. In Double Down, Gary accidentally breaks his collarbone while cutting down tree branches over his driveway. He is Jeff Kinney’s favorite character, which is what part of what inspired him to write Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal.
